We signed up for the 5 dance package. It very easy to select times for our dance lesson that worked for us and our schedule. We really enjoyed our lessons with Maria. She did a great job demonstrating the steps and breaking down each step so we knew exactly how to move. Each class, we would revisit the previous lessons and learn more advanced moves. We went through lots of reps and practiced a lot to the music. By the end of our sessions, we felt extremely confident and our first dance went really well! Our wedding guests were so impressed with our turns and dip. Definitely recommend coming here!

Neither me or my husband dance and we were nervous for our first dance and our dance lesson. From the moment we stepped into the studio, Maria made both of us very comfortable. She broke down all of the dance steps into small parts to build our confidence and had us put them all together once we mastered them. We left the dance lesson feeling much more confident in our skills and continued to practice at home according to her suggestions. On our wedding day, we were able to enjoy our first dance as a married couple and feel confident in our skills thanks to Maria!

Even after returning the late packages to her, that arrived two weeks after the event, the other one month late, she refused to refund $935. She sent materials via USPS with no tracking. She told us to reschedule our holiday party until Jan. We said we need to cancel as it was the only time we could do it. She refused. We had to pay for another provider, Sip and Paint with Me, who went out and purchased the supplies the same day! She saved our event. Wonderfully Made was so unprofessional. Still no refund. Do not recommend.

It was more of a TGIF issues (they were EXTREMELY SLOW getting meals out). Anywho-- Loved painting wine glasses. Only thing I would suggest is for the instructor to provide more examples. She told us to google designs... which was fine... and I did that and had a good time coming up with designs but it would have been nice to see some techniques from the instructor. I will attend another event-- and I probably will look into having a private event with friends and family.

You don't have to be a dance enthusiast to know that The Washington Ballet is a preeminent dance…read morecompany both nationally and internationally. I've had the pleasure of seeing many of the company's performances and it is truly beauty en motion. They are impactful, emotional, and dazzling masterpieces. Their performances took on new meaning when my god-daughter started training at the Washington School of Ballet. She had years of experience under her belt, but this school challenged her body in new ways. After a few short months of intense training, her technique was elevated. Additionally, the opportunities associated with The Washington Ballet are vast. My girl performed at The Warner Theatre in The Nutcracker last December and she met the legendary soloist Misty Copeland in April. If you're not familiar with Miss Misty, check her out www.mistycopeland.com. +Tip: Fees to train at their ballet school (@ THEARC) are on a sliding scale. With philanthropy and families who can afford to pay more, economically disadvantaged kids (who may not have gotten an opportunity to dance) can do so here. Lots of love to The Washington Ballet for supporting the community!

Absolutely amazing and Mary is a gem!!!…read more I was lucky to attend an Open Kitchen D.C. event at Yayla Bistro in Arlington, VA and needless to say, it was everything!! Mary kicked the event off with letting us know the format of the night and was prepared from start to finish! I loved the centerpieces in the table that allowed you to break the ice by asking open ended conversation provoking questions to get the energy moving at your table. As the event got started Mary gave a snippet of what was to come with each transition in the program. The event was at a family owned Turkish restaurant. The unique format allowed us to learn about the history, first hand at that, from the brothers. As we were given the history, we noshed on some homemade bread followed by a mezze plate. We were also given a tutorial via demonstration on how to make their signature dish, Mousakka (which was devine). We rounded out the night with how to make Turkish tea that was paired with some signature desserts. The food was amazing and I loved how it was more than just a elevated dinner. We were able to learn not only about the restaurant itself but what makes their dishes so special. Mary has a fantastic thing going here and if you ever get the chance to attend of of her events, I highly encourage it!! Plus as an added bonus, all the events take place at establishments she has personally dined at!!! Check our her website www.openkitchendc.com as well as her IG page @openkitchendc to stay up to date on all her events!!! Trust me, it is worth it!! Support local businesses, especially small businesses whenever you can!

We like trying food from around the world and welcome any opportunity to learn about cuisine and its cultural connection. Hawwi's owners personally greeted us when we arrived and while they began to cook a signature dish they shared their stories about why they came to the U.S. and started their restaurant. When we were served there was a great variety of delicious food and plenty of it. I look forward to attending future Open Kitchen D.C. events. It would make a great girls night out event, birthday gift to attend with a friend, or a special event to bring a relative or friend visiting from out of town, etc... Open Kitchen D.C. creates unique events that delight the senses.

This year I didn't want to deal with running out of things, bringing ice, etc. I will say we had a BIT of a responsiveness issue in the beginning trying to engage with them, but once we got Mimi on the phone, she was just fantastic. I LOVED the staff that was sent to run our event. All three were fun, professional, hardworking and made some great drinks! We did run out of wine with about an hour left to the event (and we only had beer and wine and two signature cocktails) which was super disappointing, but we made the best of it. I would 100% hire them again, especially if we got the same bartenders and they brought extra wine! The signature cocktails and mocktails they put together were fantastic. Mimi won't let you down!
